moth skyfire REAL <3!!!

also hello to the people who asked me about skyfire. you were all correct! (also extra kudos to @t4ckie-j4ckie who also guessed that skyfires little buddy D0C would make an appearance shfkfhdk) SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT.

take the full picture of Doc and the Buges + misc. notes under the cut as compensation.

There are actually TWO people working at the clinic- Doc and Dia :]

Skyfire is the resident cybug at the veterinary clinic. Doc found him half frozen in the winter and nursed him back to health, and now he just lives there

Cosmos lives at Doc's house instead of the clinic, but they'll bring him in sometimes because otherwise he gets a little lonely :(

Dia has some cybugs as well! They started off with just one, but then things kept happening and now they have like, a whole scuttle of them.

They helped foster a couple of cybugs that were rescued, and ended up keeping both of them ^^" They then ended up with another after they uh... encountered a cybug traveling in their direction. Very swiftly. (Dia is still recovering.)

Also there's that one cybug in their garden that kinda hangs around their porch. He's an honorary member of their household, even though hes a stray

Doc is also a moderator on r/cybugs. He had to break up fights between Buster and Bob and became acquainted with them that way

also i didnt know where else to put this but. i imagine you can also hold seekers like how people hold small birds when they tag them.

wow whos that handsome bug blog? she's shown up as a cameo before (she's even sent an ask to green!!) but finally buster makes her proper appearance! as much as an appearance can be when consisting of solely text and hands?

also some notes on seekers!

and the pic of the trine cuddling is inspired by this:

the thrine cybugs need little bows on them,Starscream specifically needs a bell to keep him out of trouble

also if any of the thrine bugs(can you tell they’re my favorite) were to give their caretaker little ‘gifts’(things they find around the house ie. underneath the couch and tables),which one would it be? :3c

-♠️

BOWS... YEAH 🥺🥺

and tbh i think Skywarp probably needs a bell too, he'd be a little menace. at least you hear Starscream yelling when something in his plan goes awry 😂 Skywarp just continues making mischief and then you find out wayyyy later...

ooo... i could see any of the 3 of them doing that honestly. but they'd bring very different things and in very different manners GJFHFJS

Thundercracker would come back with things like flowers and petals, pretty lengths of yarn/thread and random objects he likes. either drops it in his keepers lap and runs off, or gives it to them and wants snuggles/pets. unfortunately, i also think he's liable to steal keys and other things like that, but he would give them back with a little prompting.

Starscream would "give" things by hoarding them then surreptitiously leaving them around the house in obvious places and hiding nearby until they are found. and he has STANDARDS! what those standards are? who knows. a heritage brooch holds the same value as a bottlecap. mostly shiny things though.

Skywarp would be a mixed bag, but he'd be insistent about depositing whatever he's found directly into his keepers hand. things he's probably given Buster: a button, handful of grass, cool looking stone, part of a dead bird (how...?), pocket lint, spring from a pen, weird leaf, one sock (where did the other one go?), half eaten mouthful of jelly, 20 bucks. you never know what you're gonna get.

Cybug Thundercracker situation makes it seem like a) Buster had to adopt both seekermoths bc they were now his trine and so they are now a package deal b) Both seekermoths had to adopt Buster bc she's their new Trinemate's human (and maybe bc she provides food)

yeah pretty much! i like to think that skywarp took to it better than starscream did LMAO. he came around eventually but i imagine it would've been like trying to socialize a stubborn adult stray cat

starscream canonically likes buster's gf though 👍

kjsdhfksdhf YEAH,, i've been thinking about that... i reckon that different seeker subspecies would value different things, but some common ones would be; size, plating density, flight ability/maneuverability amongst other things, such as their ability and willingness to defend/attack

the ideal seeker would be one that is one with solid plating that isn't TOO heavy as to impede their ability to fly/maneuver in the air.

certain seekers would also look for size of partner either for protection or reproductive purposes imo. skywarp is small, but i imagine he has relatively dense plating and flies VERY fast. TC is big, has dense plating due to a steady diet. he's more rounded off than skywarp and starscream but he's still got plenty of defensive and offensive ability.

and sometimes wires get a little crossed and starscream gets obsessed with a shuttlebug. you know how it is. real pebbles the budgie and her giant cockatoo wife vibes.
